I participated in Gentle January on Instagram. This was such a great ease into the year after all the rah rah rah on the internet in December.

We went on a family holiday to the Drakensberg.

We had three book club meets that were SUPER fun. Interestingly, two of the books were not favourites read but the discussion around them and hearing from intelligent, funny women was what made it so much fun.

I loved listening to the audible version of The Happiness Project. So much fun!

I’m listening to more of the That Sounds Fun podcast. I particularly enjoyed her January rhythms series.

I participated in a Zumbathon a few weekends ago and I tried a new dance class which was great, but doesn’t work for my schedule. I would only be able to go to 20 minutes before I’d have to leave. Maybe I should just go for the 20 mins?

We’ve been watching The Amazing Race as a family every Wednesday for the last 4 weeks. This is huge, mainly for me, because I don’t watch any TV. None. As my husband jokes, I watch one movie a year and if I really break loose, two!

I’ve read 27 books thus far and should finish on about 29/ 30 as there’s a week of March left.

I got the painting done! That has been a lot of fun for me. I love taking risks in the house. Thank you, Nester.

And last but not least, I’ve had 19 socials and seen 34 friends in the 3 months (book club is the reason for the large second number).

What was your word for the year? How has that worked out for you this quarter?
